Freeport, Bahamas - At about 3: 20pm
on Tuesday 2nd March 2010,
Mr. Reno Saunders, 28years of East Coral Estates c/o GB Humane Society
as a
field guide, was observed driving his company’s white & black cargo
van #
GB 6308, west along Settler’s Way during the height of school rush hour,
in
bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Upon reaching the intersection with East
Atlantic Drive, Mr. Saunders stopped and allowed a
number of drivers who were caught up in the traffic jam while traveling
north
on East Atlantic Drive, to merge into the Settler’s Way traffic flow,
despite
other impatient and irate drivers behind him, honking their horns.
This display of driving courtesy on the part of Mr.
Saunders
has resulted in him being selected as the recipient of this first
quarter
award.
Members of the public can nominate any driver they
observe
performing an act of courtesy or consideration towards other motorists
or
pedestrians while driving on the public roads, for next quarterly award,
which
will be presented sometime in June.
Nominations are to be sent to the Road Traffic
Department,
the Police Traffic Department or any member of the Grand Bahama Road
Safety
Committee.
